System's Super Sect-Chapter 857 - 814: Attempting to Subdue the True Dragon

Chapter 857: Chapter 814: Attempting to Subdue the True Dragon

Regarding the existence of the True Dragon, Wen Ping did not rashly probe with spiritual power.

Firstly, he didn’t want to suddenly awaken it, thereby adding trouble for himself; secondly, he was uncertain about the strength of this True Dragon, and if awakening it led to conflict and he couldn’t win, it would be quite embarrassing.

While maintaining caution, a bolder idea emerged in Wen Ping’s mind.

Could the True Dragon be used to guard the sect?

Wouldn’t it be even more majestic than a Flood Dragon?

Subduing a True Dragon would certainly be far more challenging than subduing the Demon Race, perhaps even akin to the difficulty of ascending to the heavens. Yet, Wen Ping couldn’t shake off this bold and wild idea. Who wouldn’t want to keep a real dragon?

Across the mountains and rivers, Wen Ping looked down below and murmured, "This is definitely the most precious thing in the Red Leaf Sect."

If not taken away, it would indeed be a pity.

Not taking it would be akin to losing!

"System, show me..."

With that said, the simplified information about the Wood Dragon popped up.

Wood Dragon [Ancient Species]

Race: Mountain and River Dragon Race

Gender: Male

Power: Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm (Currently deteriorating...)

...

"Just like Big Bloke and Little Bloke, they’re all from the previous era. It seems they haven’t received nourishment for a long time, causing their realm to continuously decline."

Seeing the power of the Wood Dragon, Wen Ping was somewhat surprised.

Because previously in the Heaven and Earth Lake Secret Realm, the Palace Guard he saw was lucky enough to survive from the previous era to this one, crossing such a lengthy time, yet its persistent strength decline left it with only the strength of the Profound Realm.

In this world, the Profound Realm can only be said to have just set foot on the road of cultivation.

It’s nothing worth mentioning!

No need to delve deeply into how extensive the span between the two eras truly is.

But this Wood Dragon, after such a long period, still possesses the power of the Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm, which is truly terrifying upon reflection.

How powerful was the Wood Dragon in the previous era?

It definitely exceeded the Celestial Unrestricted Realm, right?

Possibly even higher!

Wen Ping slightly furrowed his brows and softly said, "This way, it adds quite a bit of difficulty. Dragons are already proud enough, subduing them isn’t a simple task, especially with their previous incomprehensible powers."

An old saying goes, the stronger one is, the prouder one becomes!

Can the Wood Dragon’s haughty nature allow it to bow its head?

After careful contemplation, Wen Ping’s vast spiritual power transformed into a huge wave, pressing down on the Wood Dragon below the mountains and rivers. When the spiritual power traversed through grass, wood, and stones, it crashed upon the thick dragon scales, unable to advance further.

Until now, nothing had ever been able to block the penetration of his spiritual power.

But today, the Wood Dragon’s scales stopped it.

"Its skin is truly thick!"

Wen Ping chuckled lightly, growing more anticipative about awakening the Wood Dragon.

The second wave of spiritual power swept overwhelmingly over, striking the thick cyan scales.

Followed by the third wave.

The fourth wave.

The fifth wave.

By this point, the mountains shook, and the earth trembled.

Rocks fell like shedding dead skin before rolling down precipitously.

Even the hefty earth cracked deeply, as if scorched by the blazing sun for centuries.

With the tremor of the mountains and earth, the surging cyan Dragon Qi streamed out from the crevices, rushing towards Wen Ping.

"Such ancient Dragon Qi."

Wen Ping felt the Dragon Qi brushing against him and made a simple comparison with Golden Dragon Ao Li, who guarded the Nuwa Divine Statue at Demon Emperor Lake.

The Dragon Qi of the Golden Dragon was purer, more domineering.

The Dragon Qi of the Wood Dragon was more ancient, more gentle.

In the next moment, the deafening dragon roar echoed across the sky, reverberating through the clouds, prompting Zhantian Ye and the three others ten miles away to pause in shock.

All three were puzzled about what had happened.

Accompanied by the dragon roar, the immense and endlessly stretching cyan dragon body gradually emerged over the earth. First was the dragon tail covered by thousands of cyan vines, then the dragon body covered in dark green scales, and finally the glaring dragon head.

The Cyan Dragon emerged, soaring into the sky.

The dragon head raised high, swimming amidst the heavens.

Stirring the winds and clouds, all within a single thought!

Having issued several angry roars due to disturbance, the Wood Dragon’s radiant dragon eyes finally noticed Wen Ping, the unexpected guest.

Yet, the Wood Dragon did not immediately attempt to annihilate Wen Ping, who had disturbed it, instead, it sent a voice directly into Wen Ping’s mind, questioning him in dragon language.

Through the system’s translation, Wen Ping understood that the dragon had mistaken him for someone from the Red Leaf Sect.

Moreover, it noticed and said one thing among its words—Has the Red Leaf Sect declined to such a point?

The Wood Dragon could not see through Wen Ping’s realm but could tell his age.

To the Wood Dragon’s questioning, Wen Ping replied with a straightforward truth, "If it continues like this, its demise isn’t far off."

The Wood Dragon understood Wen Ping’s words, and again sent its voice into his mind, "Long ago, I promised the ancestors of the Red Leaf Sect five times to intervene on your behalf, during the enduring years you have now used it three times. This is the fourth! Red Leaf Sect’s younger generations, I hope you cherish the blessings your predecessors brought you with their precious lives; after five times, I will no longer aid you—all of you shall act wisely!"

Hearing the Wood Dragon’s words, Wen Ping silently noted that the Red Leaf Sect indeed had some great fortune, actually being able to receive assistance from a True Dragon.

At this juncture, a realization struck Wen Ping.

He understood! 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

It seems that the suspected Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted expert within the Red Leaf Sect should be this Wood Dragon.

It will only intervene five times, so each appearance must be when the Red Leaf Sect needs it most.

The last time the Red Leaf Sect’s guardian expert appeared was a thousand years ago, manifesting with Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted strength.

Otherwise, given the Red Leaf Sect’s ostentatious stance, if there was a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted expert residing within, how could it willingly remain as one of the three overlords?

Gazing at the Wood Dragon upon the azure sky, Wen Ping stood calmly at the bow of the flying ship, saying lightly to the wind and clouds, "You really thought well—yet if you continue to sleep, with your continuously diminishing powers, will you be able to aid the Red Leaf Sect for the fifth time?"

Upon hearing Wen Ping’s words, the Wood Dragon suddenly issued an angry roar, and within moments it traversed mountains and clouds to appear before Wen Ping. The dragon’s might loomed as an imposing mountain. But Wen Ping still stood composed at the bow of the flying ship.

Because, with the current power of the Wood Dragon, it was insufficient to shake the Flying Ship’s Flowing Cloud Armor.

Before coming to the Red Leaf Sect, he had just completed its upgrade.

The dragon’s snout, adorned with waving cyan whiskers, pressed closely against Wen Ping’s flying ship, and Wen Ping could even sense its furious breaths.

"Wood Dragon, as the Sect Leader, I’m quite curious—what did the ancestors of the Red Leaf Sect offer you that made you willingly lie dormant beneath the earth rather than becoming a True Dragon above the skies for thousands of years?"

"You’re not a descendant of the Red Leaf Sect?"

"That’s not important; what matters is, I’m here to assist you."

"Feeble little human, assist me?"

The Wood Dragon’s vibrant dragon eyes glinted with intense disdain.

Wen Ping replied with a tone leaving no room for doubt, "In a thousand years, your strength will drop to a nadir, and by then, this vast earth will teem with experts capable of killing you. By then, you might not even have the right to survive, having crawled from the previous era to now—was it merely to sleep here only to be slaughtered like a chicken and its eggs?"

After speaking, Wen Ping looked at the Wood Dragon.

He awaited the Wood Dragon’s response.

For he truly could not bear to kill the Wood Dragon.
